Visited yesterday for lunch with my Husband who has dietary requirements. Tracey explained how you can find all the information relating to allergies on the app. The food was lovely and so much choice. Tracey came back to check if everything was OK if we needed anything else. Service was faultless and the atmosphere was nice and relaxed. Really enjoyed our food look forward to coming back.

Went for a family dinner at the Saltire. The food was great and reasonably priced, the dining area was clean and although sports are shown in the tv’s. There is no sound at the eating area which helps to create a more relaxing environment. Great to be seated and served quickly and our server (Hannah) was fun, friendly and very knowledgeable of the products I would definitely recommend to family and friends.

So i booked the function suite for my son’s First Holy Communion yesterday. We were having a small celebration with close family and friends. From the very first time i spoke to Tracey she was Amazing and nothing was too much bother for her. As the weather had improved and me sunshine hat his hat on i asked if i could have it in the beer garden outside, she tidied the garden and made it look lovely. I left a few things i had bought to decorate the tables and so on and she set it all up for me Amon he with other staff. It was just lovely. Was really really happy when we arrived. The buffet is numerous items and you choose 8 things from it however i managed to tweak a few things from the bar menu and nothing was too much bother, what i would say to anyone booking is if you are having a function for say 50 people book a buffet for 30 because it’s absolutely huge and there’s no way it will be eaten. We ended up boxing some of ours and brining it home. The food was lovely and there’s guests all said the same. It was just a nice wee setting sitting outside listening to music and if you needed to order you could scan the app and staff would bring the drinks to you. You pay zero for hall hire, you just pay for the buffet which i think is great. Would 100% recommend for any function big or small. We only had 22 people and we had a section of the beer garden which was perfect for us.

I had heard from my neice about the mixed grill in the Saltire and I'm glad she suggested it as it was the best meal I have had in a very long time it was stunning. I said to Nathan that I enjoyed my meal more than I had in other places and I said I would be back for more and I certainly will be soon. Top food and service made even better with Nathan asking if everything was fine mid meal.

Christmas day pre booked for 16 adults and 2 children. A complete disaster frm start. 2pm booked by 3pm still waiting on starters. All meals were pre booked well in advance so should have been no problems. Starter was disgusting mains were eventually served and the food was also disgusting too many problems to mention on this page. when you think nothing else could go badly infotmed that dessert was not available and had to re order substitute. Manager was unhelpful after complaining. Will be applying. For a complete refund. Will never step foot in this place again. Letter on way to manager Booked this event well in advance so no excuse for long wait which could excuse if the food was okay. The only christmas thing here was the muic. Poor poor poor. Bad food bad service. Bad Management. £800 POUNDS DOWN THE DRAIN. Not the waiting staff fault. BAD MANAGEMENT. Due to long wait some of our family had to. Leave before sweet arrived which was also not worth the wait. Cooked family anther Christmas dinner on boxing day.

Never had a problem before but this time I went to order the food , I was told there was no ribs when I ordered so I asked for rib eye steak ,I was then told there was no rib eye so ended up with a cut of meat I didn’t really want, my wife ordered the slow cooked beef rib , waited an hour for it , the beef rib was just fat, tiny wee bit of meat mostly all fat which went back and messed up the family meal , then to rub salt in it the table next to us that ordered a while after we did received an order of ribs 🤔 hold on I was told there was none, questioned the waiter guy and he apologised profusely even though it wasn’t his fault , so basically spend £70 for a terrible experience, I won’t be back after being told there’s no ribs to then see other people getting what I go there for is insulting.

Loved coming here years ago, my friend reminded me about it so... Decided to take my 2 kids along with me today while my partner was at work. Firstly, I stood at the door waiting to be seated for longer than I should have, felt some acknowledgment would have been nice, "someone will have you seated in a moment" will suffice. I could see it was busy anyway so, I understood. I was finally taken to my table, I sat down to which the waitress swiftly walked away. I was sat with my toddler on my knee thinking, are they bringing me a highchair? (which I requested when booking and should be fairly obvious considering she's a toddler). I'm sure on previous visits I could order from my phone, although I noticed there was no table number, so I thought, "I'll wait until the waitress comes back with the highchair", obviously assuming she was away to get it.... Which evidently she wasn't. A bit of time passed, my toddlers getting impatient on my knee, so I turned round to get a menu, and noticed the menu stand had writing on it stating to order at the bar. This would have been nice to know when seated. A simple, "good evening, here's your menues, once you have decided please order from the bar".... 1 simple sentence would have saved me sitting about like a spare pri*k, rather than just walking off the second I sit down. After a bit of time with no staff in sight and still no high chair, I looked up at the bar, the queue was too long for me to be standing in it with my kids... The fact the waitress noticed I had a toddler and didn't click on I'd need a high chair is a bit poor in the customer service department. The fact I wasn't made aware on the ordering process and also having to wait at the main door without feeling noticed, it's just not how to treat customers. Again, it was very busy, I'm not saying I won't come back, but my 1 star review will remain until I get a better experience as I've never felt so out of place in a food venue before. More staff is evidently needed during the busy times. I feel the staff are probably put under pressure causing them to lose focus on the things that matter to customers. This is why I simply walked out today rather than rasing my concerns with the staff as not their fault, we're human after all. But yeah, the management should get this sorted out because it was such basic customer service skills that caused me to walk today.

Walked in lots of tables available, went to bar to be told we are not taking walkins. All the tables are booked. I said what about sitting outside was told no, said what about out the front told no. Asked about bar told no. I mean the place wasn’t busy, there was about 8/9 tables available. The a customer said to me go onto their website and book a table, that’s what we had to do. The bar staff don’t tell you that instead it took for a customer to tell me. No wonder it wasn’t busy probs turning people away all day long and this is a pub that should be wanting to make money. I went onto Greenking website and booked a table. I did this whilst still standing at the bar. I was made to stand there for a good 10 mins. The male with dark hair and beard was serving and the duty manager i believe with blue hair was hovering about at the bar but not serving. When i did get served i ordered some drinks and a group of men came in wanting food, the male said we are not taking walkins today and the female staff member said you can go into bar and get served food from there after me being told no. It’s crazy. When i went up to order our food, the male was serving in the bar and the female member of staff was talking to a customer at the other end of the bar for a good 8/10 mins not even acknowledging me standing there. An elderly couple came in and were stood beside me waiting to be served also. It’s just not good enough. The food was ok, my nachos were a bit burned but was ok, waiting time was reasonable but the customer service was shocking. I won’t be back anytime soon and it’s sad as it’s a 5 minute walk from my house. I would rather jump in the car and drive to the Livingston Inn for food etc because the service there is second to none. Saltire have a word with your staff and please do better.

My wife, my sister, my sister’s friend and I had a meal in here and it wasn’t such a great experience. My sister’s friend has lived in Linlithgow for some of her life, and it was her that suggested that we have lunch at this eatery. Initial impressions were very good, in that it looked welcoming, was in a good state of decoration, was clean and the staff were friendly. Now, my wife and I are up visiting from Leicester, so have an expectation on what we should be paying for a meal, so we were quite surprised by the high prices at this establishment, for what I would call relatively simple meals. Anyway, we ordered our drinks and food, and the drinks were soon brought to the table (also quite dear), and soon after the food was brought. Two of us ordered the lamb kofta flatbread at £10.50 each, and the other two ordered steak and caramelised onion ciabatta at £11.50 each (these meals would cost around £7-£8 in our area of the Midlands). The two that had the lamb koftas were quite happy with their meals, but the other two meals were awful, and unfortunately, I was one of the other two that had the steak. First of all, I would not say that the bread was a ciabatta – it was more like a soft long roll, but in any eventuality, it was dry and tasteless, and down south the ciabattas are normally toasted. This was not helped by the fact that the amount of onions was minimal – we each had a sliver of onions up the middle of the so-called ciabatta. The steak was a tad tough, but palatable. When the server came up to take the plates I complained to him about the meals, and he told us he would tell the chef. Whether he did or not is anyone’s guess, as he never came back to us. There was absolutely no gesture of goodwill for the poor quality of this truly expensive food, so we paid the bill and left. We would absolutely not eat here whenever we visit this town again, and I wouldn’t give it a recommendation.

It was the monthly quiz night at The Rowan Tree Armadale, with the Host Ross!! Tai (Who is an asset to the company) seen us coming in and welcomed us and showed us to our seat! Brilliant its the seat we love......X Our pre drinks were taken and on our tale within minutes.... we had Bubbles (Prosecco) Cider and J20, PERFECTO. Ellie (with a smile, always) then came over and started our order.......Yum Yum get in my tum. So we had 2x Chilli Beef, 1x Cowboy burger and 1x Chicken burger. after a wee banter with Ellie and Tai we settled down and refreshed ourselves with our lovely cool drinks..... All the meals arrived with 10 minutes if that......WOW! super fast. The Chilli Beef was perfect, nacho chips crispy, beef was tender and it just had enough spice......great addition to this meal is the Jalapenos......It a Spiccccccy! Perfect. The cowboy burger was succulent and juicy.....Delicious! The Chicken burgh was crispy and juicy.....fabulous! after we had all cleared our plates Ellie and Tai cleared our table and returned with more drinks......FABULOUS! Now we were well watered and stuffed it was quiz time. We had such a laugh (mostly at ourselves as we are not the best at quizzing) but its not about winning its about the fun and taking part....Whoooop Whooop......
